I'm not sure I've seen anyone try out a Hydra theme, so here's my take on it. I admit that I did deviate from pure Hydra, but I think all the figures were involved with Hydra in some way or another.

Red Skull
LE-Madame Hydra
V-Silver Samurai
R-Constrictor
E-Kingpin
LE-Operative
V-AIM Medic
E-AIM Medic
2xV-AIM Agent
2xE-AIM Agent

This is obviously a swarm team. I also have 3 figures with leadership, so I'm very likely to get that extra action that I'm going to need to move this pile of figures around. Madame Hydra and Silver Samurai are the only ones that can break through Invulnerability, so I have to be careful with them. Constrictor's incapacitate would be a backup for taking down invulnerability, too. With the Hydra figures he can probably get up to a +2 for a ranged incap. I'll use Kingpin and the E-Agents as Mastermind fodder.

I dunno how much of a chance this team would have in real play, but I wanted to see how viable Hydra is. I deliberately did not include Hand Ninjas because they're not really Hydra members, even though they share the team ability. Please correct me if I'm wrong and the Hand has actually worked with Hydra in the past. I'll be happy to swap out agents for them if that is the case.

Not to bad. I have always considered Hydra members more as support peices to a team just for the fact (and I see you ran into it building your team) that there are no real heavy hitters. I believe Hydra and the Hand have worked together but I cannot recall when that has happened.
